For players · Mobile app

Find your level.
Play better games.

DinkTap is the pickleball app for players who'd rather play than coordinate. Find your level, log your matches, watch your rating climb — and turn casual play into a real progress story.

Find better games

Discover nearby players by skill level, location, availability, and play style. Stop scrolling group chats.

Player discovery

Better matchups

Match with players who push your game — not too easy, not a beatdown. Built around the level you actually play.

DMR™-matched

Log every match

Every game. Every partner. Every score. Logged in seconds. Builds your history without the work.

Match logging

Dynamic Mesh Rating™

A rating that factors match results, opponent strength, partner strength, score margins, and recent form. The number reflects how you're playing right now.

DMR™ · 2.0–10.0

Climb leaderboards

Local rankings, streaks, milestones, and friendly rivalries. Bragging rights you can actually point to.

Leaderboards

Leagues & tournaments

Discover events near you, register, check in, and follow your path through brackets and standings — from your phone.

Events
For clubs & organizers · Management portal

Run better pickleball.
No more spreadsheets.

Ten group chats. Three spreadsheets. A printed bracket taped to the wall. A registration form that crashes the morning of. DinkTap is the modern operating layer for pickleball communities — built to replace the patchwork.

Court & reservation management

Availability, bookings, schedules, and player access. Built for how facilities actually run, not how spreadsheets pretend they do.

Courts · reservations

League management

Create leagues, manage divisions, schedule matches, post standings, and keep players engaged through the season.

Leagues

Tournament management

Registrations, waitlists, check-ins, brackets, standings, match progress, and live communication — from one place.

Tournaments

Player communication

Announcements, updates, schedule changes, and reminders — pushed to the right players at the right time.

Broadcast · push

Brackets & standings, the way real competition runs.

Round robin, pool play, playoffs, single and double elimination, wild cards, tiebreakers, custom formats. Built to handle the brackets you actually run — not the ones the off-the-shelf tools force you into.

Flexible competition engine

Live event displays

TV-ready boards for courts, brackets, scores, next-up matches, and leaderboard moments. Make your events feel like the show they should be.

Live boards

Community engagement

Ratings, leaderboards, stats, and milestones keep players coming back. Progress doesn't end when the match does — and neither does the conversation.

Retention
Why DinkTap is different

Built for the full
pickleball ecosystem.

Most tools solve one slice. One helps players find games. One handles reservations. One runs tournaments. One tracks ratings. DinkTap brings it all together — and the whole sport grows faster when it lives on one platform.

  • Better games, easier to find
  • Coordination without the group chat
  • Real progress tracking
  • A rating that moves with your play
  • Leaderboards that make sessions feel like game day
  • One place to discover every event near you

For clubs What you get

  • Less manual admin, more time running pickleball
  • Better event visibility and reach
  • More engaged players between sessions
  • Easier league and tournament management
  • Stronger retention through competition and community
  • A connected player network that helps fill courts and events
01

Players need clubs.

02

Clubs need players.

We're building the platform where both finally win at the same time.
The core idea
Ratings · Stats · Leaderboards

Turn everyday play
into a reason to come back.

DinkTap creates a shared competitive layer for the whole community. Players track progress, climb leaderboards, and build rivalries. Clubs use the same layer to drive engagement and make events feel like events.

Community

Built for the people who make
pickleball, pickleball.

Players get better games and real progress. Clubs get more active communities and smoother operations. Together: a connected pickleball ecosystem built for everyone who plays it, runs it, and grows it.

Welcoming for every level

Beginners through 5.0+. Every player belongs on the platform — and on the courts.

Competitive without being intimidating

Friendly fire only. The game is hard enough without the social anxiety.

Easy to use for players & organizers

No tutorials, no admin migraines. The tools work because they had to.

Built around real games & real communities

The platform reflects what actually happens on the courts — not a marketing version of it.

Fun, fair, social, and engaging

Stats add to the game, never take it over. The point is still the rally.

About DinkTap

We're building the platform
we wished existed.

Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in the country — and the tools haven't caught up. Players coordinate matches in group chats. Clubs run leagues out of spreadsheets. Brackets live on a clipboard taped to the wall. We started DinkTap because the people who play and the people who run the sport deserve one platform that works for both.

01 Our mission

Make pickleball more fun, social, competitive, and easier to manage — by connecting players, clubs, leagues, tournaments, and courts on one modern platform.

  • One platform for both sides
  • Real progress players can see
  • Tools clubs actually want to use
02 Where we're headed

A connected pickleball ecosystem where every player finds their level, every club runs smoother programs, and every match feels worth showing up for.

  • Every game counts toward something
  • Every event reaches its players
  • Every community grows together
Built by Pickleball players.
Designed with Captains, organizers & clubs.
